Watch: Boston Bruins Goalie Tuukka Rask Plays “Back on the Train”

Rob Slater on October 20, 2014

Last week we told you about some of music’s biggest hockey fans, well now it appears as if we have a hockey player to add to the list of big music fans. Boston Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask and a few teammates dropped by Nietzsche’s in Buffalo on a recent road trip to play the Sabres when Rask moved behind the drum kit to sit in with local band The Mustn’ts on a cover of Phish’s “Back on the Train.”

According to the Buffalo news, Rask attempted a rather ambitious fill at the end of the song, drawing a ribbing from his teammates. The next night, Rask sat in favor of backup Niklas Svedberg as the Bruins beat the Sabres 4-0.

Rask is your new favorite NHL goalie (although King Henrik has a case too) because not only does he love Phish, but he loves to rock. As he told Esquire, “I’m pretty much banned from the [locker room] DJ job because I like to mix in some Finnish heavy metal tunes and the guys really don’t like that.” Rock on, Tuukka.
